New NDA Junkers Take Military Oath on the Historic Didgori Battlefield

New NDA Junkers Take Military Oath on the Historic Didgori Battlefield The Junkers of the Training Battalion of the David Aghmashenebeli National Defence Academy of Georgia—having completed the Basic Combat Training course—took their military oath on the historic field of Didgori, in keeping with tradition. The military oath-taking ceremony is symbolically linked to the historic victory of King David the Builder, whose name the National Defence Academy proudly bears. The solemn event was attended by the Academy’s leadership, as well as the families and loved ones of the Junkers. Following their enrollment at the National Defence Academy, the Junkers underwent a five-week Basic Combat Training course. As part of their theoretical instruction, they studied disciplinary regulations and received training in engineering and first aid. During the practical training phase, the Junkers learned the rules for the use of weapons, marksmanship, and safety protocols. Throughout the course, they were also required to adapt to demanding physical and psychological conditions. The graduates will now continue their studies at the Academy under bachelor’s degree programs. At the conclusion of the oath-taking ceremony, outstanding graduates were awarded Certificates of Honor. The event ended with a blessing of the graduates by the Academy’s chaplain.
